hiking

ray heinrich


gnats up my nose
flesh
rubbing against poison ivy
ankles
swarming with tiny ticks
flies
crawling in my hair
mosquitoes
sucking at my body
(and wasps and scorpions
only seconds away)

i’m itching in ALL my places
and i scratch
and they bleed
and the mountain lions are thinking
“wounded prey”
and they’re right
